Hi, I can help with overnights for work trips, a mini vacation without the kids or on an as-needed basis. I have over 15 years of teaching and nanny experience and love crafts, the zoo, museums, playing at the park, cooking projects and will definitely keep your kids entertained. Happy to negotiate lower rates for any overnights. I work from home and wanted to help families that may need additional help with their kiddos. I am happy to chat on the phone or by message to answer any additional questions. Please message me at any time to double check availability. - Sarah

Hi There, I'm Kristy! I am working from home at the moment so have more flexibility in babysitting jobs I can take... I’m in the top 1% of local caregivers via Care. com and have a lot of sitting experience, starting with two younger brothers. I was a nanny and a substitute teacher in college. Due to how complicated and confusing it can be for the little ones, I prefer to not sit for a parent(s) who would be working at home while I’m there. I am creative, imaginative, fun, interactive and love to make kids laugh! I respect your time, family and home, I am clean, caring and considerate. I have been on UrbanSitter and Care. com for over 6 years. I really enjoy being around kids in general and love the things they say and do. CPR Certified and Clear Motor Vehicle and Background Check. Bachelors in Marketing and have had the same job for over 18 years. I have been in Colorado for over 24 years and am from Illinois/Wisconsin. I had a golden retriever for over 10 years, who I lost late 2017 - so I am comfortable and enjoy being around dogs/animals as well... Thank you for your interest! Kristy

Booked by 12 families in Aurora, CO

Hi, my name is Paula and I’m a caring nanny with 4 years of experience—2 years in the United States and 2 years in my home country. I have enjoyed this experience working with children and creating a fun and engaging environment for them while I learn a lot. I have a big experience taking care of three kids (7,5,1 y.o) this experience in particular has been enriching my skills and my capacity of handling different challenging situations like daily duties , playtime for them, stressful times and overall my capacity to be mindfulness and remain calm wich has been the key for my daily routine. I’ve really learnt from my time as a babysitter the importance of stimulation for kids that’s one of my motivations to encourage kids to play outside, going for walks and just spend time in the nature . Another very important aspect is listening, I always try to be very attentive to the things children want to express or communicate . Communication is key between adults and I I’m an active person who enjoys playing volleyball, exploring the outdoors and discovering the little wonders of the world, I love animals and am happy to include them in the activities. I’m available during evenings, nights, and weekends, making it easy to accommodate your schedule. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing, getting them ready for bed , or taking them out. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Hello! My name is Hayley and I’m new to Urban Sitter. I am a third-year dental student on the Anschutz Medical Campus. Prior to dental school, I spent a year working as a pediatric dental assistant, and I regularly babysat kids of all ages throughout high school while also working as a lifeguard. I loved being a babysitter, and lately I have missed spending time with kiddos. I have a very large family with lots of little ones, but unfortunately, few of them live close to me. I am CPR certified and fully vaccinated. I am happy to help with work around the house, run errands, and my friends tell me I am a great cook! I love card games, sewing, snowboarding, rollerblading, painting, and learning new things.

“Hayley is fabulous!!!”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
